D is for ...

D is for Dorothys.

Okay, most of you thought I'd go with "dogs," right?
Nope. Covered that one with "B."

No, I got thinking about Dorothys because one of my favorite clothing sites, Dorothy Perkins, just horribly disappointed me.

They announced plans this week to retail The Kardashian Kollection (typing that almost made me throw up in my shoes) in partnership with Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian.

I must now boycott Dorothy Perkins. I am a very vocal opponent of what my friend Dimo calls the Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse (even though there's only three involved in this brouhaha). As my cousin Jennifer said, "I will not support anything with them.They just irk me. I'm sick of hearing about them; they are everywhere." Well said. I cannot in good conscience support any endeavor that serves primarily to get these attention-whores more publicity. So therefore, I must avoid Dorothy Perkins and their beautifully-styled, affordable British clothing. Dammit.

Okay. Enough of that.

Other Dorothys that I enjoy include:

Dorothy Gale

Dorothy Hamill

Loved your skating, but I hold you personally responsible for all of us who suffered your haircut

 Dorothy Parker

And last but certainly not least, the grande dame of Dorothys,
